Chapter 275: Loving Father
It happened that Jiao Xuan came out of the house, saw him in a daze, laughed, and shouted, "Why don't you come?"
The father and son hadn't seen each other in a few days.
During the Chinese New Year, not long after eating, Xue Huaijian went back.
Jiao Xuan wanted to keep him at that time, but after thinking about it, he gave up and didn't say anything.
In the blink of an eye, the child is older and his temperament has become elusive.
It can no longer be treated the same as it used to be.
He thought about it and slowly approached his adopted son: "It's really good weather today. ”
Xue Huaijian stood on the path and nodded when he heard this: "As soon as the sun is shining, green shoots will be seen on the trees, and I am afraid that it will be warm soon this year." ”
Jiao Xuan smiled, walked under the tree, and looked up: "Yo, it's really, it's all green! ”
He was on crutches, and suddenly changed his words and asked, "You haven't slept well lately, but what's on your mind?"
Slash never lies.
He said that his master couldn't sleep well at night, so he must really not sleep well.
Xue Huaijian said lightly: "You also know, I have always been like this, there are few times when I have no dreams all night, if I can sleep well every day, it is a strange thing." ”
Jiao Xuan turned to look at him and let out a long sigh: "You kid, you are still preoccupied, you are worried about everything, where to sleep well." ”
He beckoned and led his adopted son towards the study.
The doors and windows of the study are closed, and it is a place of seclusion.
Walking to the table, Jiao Xuan grabbed a piece of paper and handed it to Xue Huaijian: "Look at it, can this map be connected to the map we originally obtained?"
Xue Huaijian took it and took a look: "This is a diagram based on the layout of Zhuangzi?"
Jiao Xuan's head said: "It's a pity that part of it was burned, so people can't be sure what the panorama looks like." ”
Rockeries, ponds, and forests all have meanings.
One piece is missing, and one soul is missing.
He understood too late, and he was afraid that he would have been the first to get there.
Jiao Xuan's voice was full of disappointment.
Xue Huaijian put down the map and said, "If you can make up the rest, only these are missing, I'm afraid it doesn't matter." ”
They have people in their hands, they have silver in their storehouses, and as long as they can determine the approximate location, they have a ninety percent chance of finding their destination.
Jiao Xuan was happy again.
He sat down to eat tea and found a basket of walnuts.
Although he always eats this thing, he can't get tired of eating it.
I took the small bamboo basket and packed it in batches, and I ate it when I thought about it, which was really a fairy-like pleasure.
Jiao Xuan put Hu Tao on the table.
Xue Huaijian opened them for him one by one.
The crumpled flesh of the fruit continues to exude an enchanting aroma.
While eating, Jiao Xuan asked softly, "Are you still thinking about marrying Jing Ningbo's daughter?"
Xue Huaijian lowered his head and concentrated on his work: "What did you say again?"
Jiao Xuan laughed twice: "That kid was born with a tendon, even if I asked, he might not be able to answer, where could he tell me." ”
That's true.
"Click".
The walnut is shelled.
Xue Huaijian looked up at Jiao Xuan.
Jiao Xuan was still smiling, looked at him and said, "If you want to marry...... Then go and ask the emperor to grant marriage. ”
Jiao Xuan knew that when Qi Yuanzhang had an accident before, he was annoyed for a while, and deliberately asked his adopted son to send Qi Yuanzhang's body back to Bofu, which caused a rift between their father and son.
From that day on, when Qi Yuanzhang's daughter saw his son, she would think of her father's death.
It must be uncomfortable for these two children.
Jiao Xuan thought coldly in his heart, and for a while he didn't know whether to be happy or pity them.
He slowly put away his smile and said, "Jing Ningbo will definitely be happy if he knows." ”
Now that Qi Yuanzhang is dead, the Qi family has no son, not even a nephew, and only a group of women and children left, what other waves can be set off?
And it's not good to say, it's really that he is suspicious, and he is suspicious of Qi Yuanzhang.
Otherwise, Qi Yuanzhang's nephew, why didn't he have any material at all?
That kid grew up in Qi's family, and he has always been raised under Qi Yuanzhang's nose, and even things like funeral and pot throwing are all done by him, presumably their uncle and nephew are like father and son, and they are close to each other.
Qi Yuanzhang's matter.
He shouldn't be ignorant at all.
But that idiot, too stupid to be true.
When Jiao Xuan thought about it at the moment, he still felt stupid.
He chewed on the walnut in small bites, swallowed it, and stuffed another piece into his mouth.
Xue Huaijian stopped his movements and pushed the broken walnut shell aside: "Why did you suddenly think of this?"
Jiao Xuan laughed again, smiling kindly.
"Why is it all of a sudden, isn't that what I said in the first place? When the New Year is over, I will go to propose, isn't it?"
Jiao Xuan asked him rhetorically.
"It's just that the situation is different now, and it is obviously more appropriate for the emperor to come forward. ”
"Could it be that you changed your mind and don't want to marry her?"
Jiao Xuan stared at Xue Huaijian.
Xue Huaijian frowned.
Jiao Xuan said: "That's it, if you want to marry, then ask the emperor to marry, isn't it just right?"
The rich aroma of walnuts lingers on the nose.
Xue Huaijian frowned: "Thank you, father-in-law." ”
Jiao Xuan looked relieved and said softly: "In a blink of an eye, it's time for you to marry a wife and start a family, it's really fast." ”
In the blink of an eye, time has passed, and the years are no more.
He almost couldn't remember what kind of person the girl he liked when he was young.
Outside, the daylight was fading like crumbling gold.
That night, Taiwei received a letter from Xue Huaijian.
It was a letter delivered by Innocence himself.
Comes with a serious face.
It was the first time she had seen such innocence.
There is no heresy, you have to wait for her reply, and if you can't wait, you can't go back.
Taiwei opened the letter in front of him.
There were only a few lines on the letter, but the meaning was clear.
The national teacher wants to ask the emperor for marriage.
He wondered if she wanted to.
Taiwei sat in her chair, staring at the words on the letter, and couldn't help but laugh. Since he asked so, it was whether he could or not.
This guy has a hard mouth and a soft heart, and he spoke so arrogantly when he was in the mountains, but at this time, he was worried about her.
- He loved her like this.
Love enough to accept that she doesn't love him.
Smiling too much, he folded the letter paper in his hand: "You go back." ”
Innocent hesitated: "You don't want to reply to the letter, it's okay to write a note...... Or will the little one just bring you a message back?"
Taiwei stood up, looked at him and said, "Just say I'm happy and let him rest assured." ”
Innocent solemnly responded, and halfway through, he suddenly saw the seventh girl Qi Tang.
This girl, who used to see him, always secretly watched endlessly, but today she just nodded and turned her face away.
Could it be that he has become ugly?
Innocent muttered a little in his heart.
Xiao Qi's eyes crossed him without squinting.
